Our brand assets were designed to make it easier for everyone to create something that looks and sounds great and feels unmistakably CC—so whether it’s a newsletter, an Admissions brochure, or a sweatshirt, people instantly know it’s us.
The CC Brand
Unmistakably CC
Every communication, every sign, every social post contributes to how people understand CC. When we all use the same visual language, tone, and tools, we build recognition and trust. It signals that we’re part of one community with one story.

Our Unique Position
"CC elevates how we learn, engage, and grow—for three-and-a-half weeks, and for a lifetime."
Our Differentiators
Place, Plan, Perspective
CC’s brand is grounded in a set of core differentiators. These defining truths shape how we communicate about who we are and what we offer. Together, they articulate what sets CC apart: our unmatched location, our unique academic model, and our immersive approach to the liberal arts.
OUR PLACE
Colorado Springs is a city that has historically attracted and cultivated collaboration. CC sits within its heart, on the ancestral lands of the Ute tribes and other peoples. Individuals are warmly welcomed into CC’s community, while being inspired to explore beyond campus boundaries—in the intersection between the Southwest and Rocky Mountains, in the learning and growth opportunities of Colorado Springs or wherever the next block takes you. Three miles to the mountains, three blocks to downtown, and 300 days of sun, our place reminds students to stay present and experience all that life can offer.
OUR PLAN
CC’s Block Plan is the antidote to old school liberal arts, allowing for deeper exploration of any area of interest. Our students benefit from a focused learning environment that allows them to think deeply, gaining skills, resilience, confidence, and the power to change conversations and communities for the betterment of humanity. The result: infinitely adaptable critical thinkers and empathetic leaders with the courage to jump right in and solve the world’s biggest challenges.
OUR PERSPECTIVE
The way our faculty, staff, and block visitors engage, explore, and forge true bonds with students creates real-world exposure and the skills to understand how these lessons connect, compound, and apply to subject matters around the world. Bringing these minds together in our distinct curriculum creates our unique perspective—one that dives deeper, doesn’t punish mistakes made while learning, and readies bold alumni to stand out in their professions and their communities.
Brand Expression
Our Brand in Action
The CC brand expresses who we are, our history, our place, and where we are going as an institution and a community. Our identity shows up in the stories we tell, our print and digital visuals, and the experiences we create, both on campus and away.
This expression guides us in all we do, elevating the CC voice to promote our world class liberal arts education, building the future one block at a time.
